-IlaUour Marly Mobbed.
New York, Juno 28. Max; Clergett,
18 years old, was fehot and instantly
killed in part 1 of the court of general
sessions yesterday by Edward Divens.
Clergett had been arraigned before
Judge Martine on the charge of raping
Divens' 15-year old sister, Sarah, on
the 13th instant and had pleaded
guilty. He was remanded for sentence
until next Thursday and as he turned
and walked through the aisle to go, to
the prisoner's pen young Divens arose
and holding a self-cocking derriuger to
Clergett's breast fired before a hand
could be outstretched to restrain him.
j 'Jlergett fell on the broad of his back
; dead, l or an instant there was not
' another sound in the room. The
! smoke from the pistol mounted in the
air. Divens stood over his victim, a
look of hate on his face and his revol-.
! ver pointed down at the motionless
. figure on the Uoor. The police awoke
first from their lethargy and jumped
' for the murderer. He made no resist
j ance and was led into the hall. Then
, he became hysterical'and cried aloud

parts of the country bhovv that the
electoral campaign is opening amid
the greatest excitement Mr. Balfour
arrived at Sheftiehl yesterday,', to ad
dress an open air meeting. ..The con
servative agents, expecting .disorder,
summoned a number of workingmen
j to protect the meeting and to prevent
j organized opposition , to the meeting.
I Fifteen thousand persons were present
J at the meeting. At the beginning of
. his speech Mr. Balfour was continu
ally greeted with cheers and groans.
Finally he expressed regret for the de
plorable accident that had occurred to
Mr. (iladstone. This caused the up
roar to increase and finally the noise
became so great that Mr. Balfour
could bo heard by no one except the
reporters. The crowd made several
attempts to rush upon the platform,
nnd the police present had the utmost
difficulty in repulsing them. Women
screamed to the top of their voices,
fearing that they would bo crushed to
death by the howling crowd and sev
eral of them were extricated in a faint
ing condition. Subsequently the
speeches were as brief as it was possi
ble to make them aud the meeting
terminated in the wildest disorder.
Mr. Balfour was rescued by police
from the crowd.
LOWERED THE FLAG.
Finnish Vessel! Compelled Fly R-
lan Colors When Euterlnc Lubeolc
Berlin, June 23. It has long been
the eustom of ships when entering the
port of Lubeck to fly the Oerman flag
out of compliment to tho German em
pire. The Russians have had some
reason of late 'to believe that the
motive for this courtesy is case
of vessels from Finland!, which
is part of the Russian. Empire, was
not always merely one of compliment
and that the Finns wished the Germans
to understand that th($r preferred Ger
many to Russia. Y'esterday. therefore,
the Russian consul at Lubeck boarded
the Finnish steamer Hebe as it was en
tering the port with the German flag
flying and demanded that tho captain
lower the German colors and run up the
Russian colors in their place. The
Finnish captain of the Hebe demurred,
snying it would look like an insult on
his part to the German authorities.
The Russian consul thereupon threat
ened that unless the captain complied
he would be punished on his return to
Russian jurisdiction. The captain con
cluded to obey, and the German flag
came down and the Russian flag went
up in its place. All Finnish vessels
now entering German ports are treated
q a similar manner.

Me-H(;d tne country with great improve
ment to. the growing crops. In wheal so.
gro:it a change of condition appears 'that
imabejln to question whether the vteld.
this year will not closely approximate the
unprecedented crop ot lfeUI. Tor othetr
grain and cotton the outlook Is decidedly
better and thero 1 reason now to hope for
highly satisfactory rettults from the year's
agriculture. In consequence there i
stronger trade throughout the country,, es
noclallr nt western center of distribution..
The Improvement is leu marked at this
south, owing to the very low price of cotton
and continued high watoc tn some-neglons.
The one point of anxiety lu regard to. tho
wage dispute In the Iron manufacture oper
ate for the present to caue Increase
trade, while In other great Industries the
aituatlon Is clearly moro favorable taan
usual. Confidence In the monetary fu.tu.re
has been much strengthened by political
events, and silver ha declined to io'd per
ounce. In every part of the country tuiuuey
I lu abuudunt supply, and the demand at
nearly all points Is only moderate, codec
tiuns being generally quite tlsfactwy for
the reason. The business failures occurr
ing throughout the country during tho last
fevrn days number H'O. For tho corre
uDonding week of last year the figures wera
